Well, being invisible is actually a good thing for a referee. That Arab Cup match also made news here but then FIFA went out with the added extra time boost so one can argue that was already in the works before.
It's his 5th World Cup finals match and third featuring Argentina Back in 2018 he reffed Argentina vs Iceland and Germany vs Sweden.
I was convinced the 3rd place match will go to AFC referee. I just thought the more experienced guy from UAE will get it instead.
Tough luck for Makkelie who didn't get a single knockout match but there was no way he would get any Argentina match after that QF outcome and Morocco making the last four with several Dutch-born players.
